As policy implementation accelerates, and projects are continually announced, hydrogen is guaranteed to change the global energy landscape within the next decade

They already have platforms, and I will spend so much on this that you can't disagree

Still thinking about building this pier, by the lakeside. It just means I have a platform to go early-morning or dusk paddling on the lake

Mist/fog etc could be a problem. I think it will be an easter-egg for anyone who recognises the value of a nice paddle, possibly with a joint

Like, Zeke Hausfather promoting hydrofracturing. It's bum

Daniel @danielwilliams965.bsky.social · 8h

Precisely. I love your work on methane vis-à-vis hydrofracturing

I do believe you though, it will be a tough fight - and potentially the US could come out alive

If Bruegel(-s) continues it's anti-hydrogen stance on EU industrial policy, just like a few in the Commission, we all know how fucked we are by these wasteful miscreants

Daniel @danielwilliams965.bsky.social · 8h

To remind people: #shareholders and conventional monetary policy are protecting (redundant) fossil shareholder assets+subsidised remuneration from the inevitable shift to low cost renewables+ #hydrogen

Maintaining the fossil economy is going to cost 100x more than a structured transition - soon

That's from an ETC report. I'd suggest various EU-based literature which are referenced beneath this handy article I wrote - it's hydrogen for industry, not batteries:

Europe’s industrial decarbonisation ambitions have never been clearer, with hydrogen and CO₂ infrastructure at the heart of the strategy…

Green hydrogen could get to $1/kg, being a rounding error for most cost prices of delivered goods, if it were given the same leniency and privileges as fossil fuels right now

Daniel @danielwilliams965.bsky.social · 9h

More fossil fuels/LNG? It's not economically viable for many more years. We know what is happening, the costs are obvious, and without a structured shift to low cost #hydrogen and renewables the US is going to lose to the point of total insolvency

Hydrogen for $2-3/kg is half the price of diesel

Daniel @danielwilliams965.bsky.social · 9h

The US is spending half a trillion on economic losses due to climate change, per year. It has a discretionary budget of $5.5 trillion. Clinging to petrodollar hegemony is a false economy

It has $1 trillion in interest repayments per year

The US has to change course - to #hydrogen

Daniel @danielwilliams965.bsky.social · 10h

Essentially, all the economic punishment Trump is inflicting on the US today would be equivalent (in the immediate/short term) to what would happen with a radical shift to renewables and mostly #hydrogen

Trillions spent on data centres? Bills rising by 30% or so?

It's cheap to get to net zero

Daniel @danielwilliams965.bsky.social · 10h

No mention of sustainability..

But hey, yes, when the CO2 infrastructure is in place you can talk about it. I have faith 🙏

We show that interest rate hikes by central banks are less powerful in reducing inflation than conventional wisdom suggests. Correcting for publication bias, the output cost of reducing inflation increases. Based on our meta-study of 145,000 point estimates and confidence bounds.

I'm subscribed to their newsletter. Cool hearing about different commercially available foods using Solein. Food from electrolysis

Pity the European Parliament have again banned alternative animal products from being proactively labelled to maintain wasteful and destructive dairy and meat subsidies

The best is Recoleta cemetery in Buenos Aires. So difficult to get a spot there, that one of the caretakers of the cemetery killed himself, just to be buried in Recoleta
